D.C. Chapter's July 4 White House FReep

July 08,2006 | trooprally

[trooprally]

Just a quick wrap up of the July 4th FReep in front of the White House. This AAR is a little late since the D.C. Chapter had a full July 4th Holiday of FReeps.

First was at Walter Reed

Then at Olney,MD with Doctor Raoul making his second consecutive appearance.

Then on Monday, July 3 at the New York Times in D.C.

And finally exclusive pics of the FReep at the White House.

But before I get to that, some other great Reports by non-FReepers that you may not have linked to.

Charles Rider of Age of Hooper has a video of Code Pink in D.C. Later in the day, Code Pink surrounded a group of teenage tourists to D.C. and began singing their buthched version of God Bless America. The teenagers didn't like what they heard and sang the correct version, drowning out CP and sending them packing. To view video, (NOTE: Mute first video since they run at same time) scroll down to UPDATE.

Michelle Malkin has pic of the green shirted teens. To view pic, scroll down to July 4 NO HOTDOGS FOR CINDY.

And tgslTakoma found this VIDEO of Code Pink busting into a July 4th Parade in D.C. honoring the birth of the USA and our troops. So much for the pinkos faux support of our troops.

The D.C. Chapter had their own little Support the Troops and Their Mission Rally.

We, Kristinn, 3DJoy, Just A Nobody (JUSTA), Cindy_True_Supporterspent (CTS), [Mrs] & [Mr] Trooprally and new FReeper IrwinvilleConservative (IC) arrived about 10AM. We stayed till 1PM. We left early because Code Pink's demonstaration was . pretty lame and it was very hot out. 3DJoy was able to get under some shade on the sidewalk but since Code Pink had a permit for the sidewalk, the police kept the rest of us off it.

IrwinvilleConservative just moved to the D.C. area and came down to the White House hoping to find other like minded people as himself. He did and joined FR the next day. WELCOME IrwinvilleConservative.

What was really good about being at the White House on the 4th was that there were a boat load of military members and their families. We were constantly having them come up to us and thank us. Some even argued with the pinkos that drifted over to our crowd. One soldier personally gave me his unit's 'coin'. He apparently was a First Sergeant (insignia on coin) from the 2 BN, 7th Inf. Regiment.

We also had numerous tourists come up to us and Thanks us for being their.

All the following pics are by [Mrs] Trooprally. We've posted some of the pics that go well with text. For all of [Mrs] T's pics, see WEBSHOTS>

BELOW: Tourists wanting to have their pics taken with us.

BELOW LEFT: Kristinn, CTS, [Mr] T. BELOW RIGHT: Justa and CTS taking a breather from the heat. They sat on the White House wall away from us so the police wouldn't kick them off the walk.

BELOW LEFT: 3DJoy. BELOW RIGHT: IrwinvilleConservative

BELOW: [Mr] T talking to group of young adults. I actually had an intelligent discussion with them for about 30 minutes. They apparently came to the demonstration with serious questions about the WOT after being fed the pinkos propaganda. They asked inquisitive questions and sounded like they really didn't know both sides. I stressed that they listen to both sides of the story.

BELOW: Early pic of Pinkos, and more gathering like flies to s##t.

BELOW: CTS talking to "Pinko". Turns out that this person is a homeless person who was recruited for Code Pink's demonstration. She had absolutely no idea what the buttons on her blouse meant. After accepting some Oreo cookies, she returned them after getting a nasty glare from Code Pink's handlers.

The Oreo cookies were part of the harassment of Code Pink. Justa and 3DJoy brought some cookies and popcorn. When the pinkos were gathering in front of the White House fence, we yelled "Free Oreos" and the great yell "Free range popcorn". The tourists rolled with laughter at that one.

BELOW: The pinkos wore pink crowns and carried pink umbrellas. Silliest thing I've seen in a while. But even sillier was a guy dressed in pink with a large size pink umbrella exactly like the ones put in bar drinks. What an idiot!

BELOW LEFT: This Pinko came up to us and started the argument with "Her husband is a Marine" then started to spit out antitroop talking points. After some back and forth with her just mouthing the standard "Bush lied", she left. BELOW RIGHT: Code Pink (in background) on way to disrupt the parade. That's Squeegie Guy from Walter Reed prancing around like the chicken he is. Kristinn got him all riled up today. So much so that he was yelling something about paying taxes and one time having a security clearance when working for Uncle Sam. Who knows.

[trooprally]

ping to your first FReep

[Danae]

Pinger!

Thanks for posting these and for serving our Country on the 4th!

[3D-JOY]

Ping to say hello to you and thanks for the report!

I have the dreaded red "X's" so have to search for the pictures.

[trooprally]

Sounds like the pics aren't showing up for several people. Not sure why or how to fix it. Even [Mrs] T's computer isn't showing anything but mine is. Go figure.

The Preview showed the pics when I was working on the thread. and before I posted them.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Thanks. It was a long 4th, but enjoyable.

Hey, did the pics come up for you?

[Mr] T

[squarebarb]

Just red x's for me but thank you for being there, it means so much.

[FreedomPoster]

"Free range popcorn"

LMBO! Too funny.

[FreedomPoster]

It's working fine for me, on the pics.

Great work.

[Just A Nobody]

Red Xs for me as well.

Hope you have recovered 3D!

[Just A Nobody]

Sorry again for the mix-up.
[Mr T]

[Sisku Hanne]

I can only see the first pic of the cute couple holding the HILARIOUS Uncle Sam weight loss sign. Rest are red x's.

Thanks so much for the AAR! Everyone who sees you guys and has their heart lightened is another person who will be motivated to do the same in kind for our heroes.

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks! That one worked!

[trooprally]

Great I am glad.
[Mrs T]

[firebrand]

You ALL dressed up as red X's on a white background? That was diabolically clever!

[Albion Wilde]

Blue question marks for me. There will be one more AAR of the 4th weekend, which will be up later tonight, of FReepers at the Indian Embassy and the White House against Raging Grannies, Code Pink, Cindy Sheehan, Dick Gregory and Daniel Ellsburg on July 3, after the New York Times FReep. I will explain the kids singing, etc from the point of view of those of us who were there. Thanks for the preview!

Hope you can repost your pix. Try uploading the ones for the article onto another server like Tinypic and then show them in the thread. Just a thought...

[cf_river_rat]

All the pics showed up fine for me.

Great FReepin!

BTTT

[La Enchiladita]

Wow, MrT, wow. You really are a stalwart group. And the code commie pinkos are Hideous!

Sorry the image hosting didn't work for you, but I was able to view the webshots slide show.

I don't know how you could stand to be anywhere near SINny She-Man.... I would become ill with rage.

[BlueOneGolf]

...One soldier personally gave me his unit's 'coin'. He apparently was a First Sergeant (insignia on coin) from the 2 BN, 7th Inf. Regiment...

Right on! I was in the 3-7th INF at Ft. Stewart, GA! The 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 7th Infantry Regiment are part of the 3rd Infantry Division based there. I left the Army in May 2000 and I was honored to serve in such a distinguished organization. A civilian being given a Battalion Coin by a senior NCO of the unit is a tremendous honor and I'm sure you'll cherish it forever. Congratulations!!

3rd Infantry Division "Rock of the Marne!"

2-7 INF "Cottonbalers, by God. Damn fine soldiers!"

[Landry Fan]

bttt

[Flora McDonald]

Great pictures! Thanks for the link. I especially loved "Cindy Sheehan Starving For Attention!"

[trooprally]

Thank you.

Looks like you are a cat person. You and Landry Fan from the Walter Reed FReeps aught to get together. She has one named Gipper. Forgot the other, sorry LF.

We had Basil from Texas at the Walter Reed FReep Friday.

And CindyDawg was real helpful when Cindy_True_Supporter's son was recently in a severe accident in Texas. CindyDawg went out of her way to visit the hospital, twice, and deliver the FReeper Prayer Thread to someone she did not know. It had over a 1000 posts from well wishers.

So our hats are off to the Texas FReepers. Thank You All.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Yea Yea Yea. Get your chuckles.

Last time I work with pics off Webshots. The kicker is that the "PREVIEW" showed the pics. Never had any trouble with photobucket. I didn't expect to write the Report so I went with webshots. Next time I'll have [Mrs] T repost them on photobucket.

Good luck Monday at the NYT. Doctor Raoul couldn't make it to Olney today so we couldn't get the D.C. chapter's posters to you.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Looking forward to it.

[Mr] T

[AGreatPer]

Thanks for the photos and all of what the DC people do.

[trooprally]

Thanks. Try the link in post 14. No text but hopefully the Report will make sense of the pics.

See you soon at WR?

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Thanks and glad someone can view the pics. Photobucket is how I usually go. I'll have to have [Mrs] T repost them there next time.

Treasurer of a pic on your post.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

Luckily I talked to the young adults. They weren't stuck on the moonbats talking points. So our conversation didn't go around in circles.

Kristinn and the others dealt with the real moonbats.

[Mr] T

[abner]

What time were you all there? We had a tour of the White House this morning... and I looked for everybody when we got out.

Angelwood--- you will be happy to hear that that silly painting that Hillary had in one of the rooms is gone! Remember our tour? ? We didn't understand why that painting was there... Well, it's gone now!

[trooprally]

Thank you for your service. We are out there for you and all former and current troops (Except Murtha & Kerry).

I learned of the coins and their importance from our son, a Marine staff Sergeant, and my brother, retired Marine colonel, over the years. I was surprised to receive it, and now that I have it, I'll cherish it.

I assume I received it because I proudly wear a Marine cap to the FReeps.

[Mr] T

[trooprally]

We were there from 10AM till 1PM on Pennsylvania Avenue, right in from of the WH. there were only 7 of us, but we were the ONLY group with an American flag.

Re the pic of Billary, maybe President Bush has better sense than some give him.

[Mr] T

[abner]

Wow... We looked for everyone... We left about noon I think.

[trooprally]

Don't know. We did have a crowd of moonbats around us for a while. Maybe you thought the group was all moonbats. But the flag was on a 10 foot PVC pole.

Next time.

[Mr] T

[JoyjoyfromNJ]

Great work and great report. Youse guys is the tops!

[trooprally]

Thanks. And thanks for the times you've spent at Walter Reed. We're proud to have had you.

[Mr] T

[Danae]

Belated I know... But yea, they did, I had to click "show picture" for each of them but it worked! :)

Thanks again for all you do! I sure enjoy your after-action reports! Say, I didn't see Grumpy! Did she take the Holiday off? LOL

Have a good one and thanks again! :)

Danae

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Angelwood--- you will be happy to hear that that silly painting that Hillary had in one of the rooms is gone!

That is good news. It was by a famous SW lesbo painter and was totally out of character for the room. Proving once again that the only taste Hitlery has is in her mouth.

[trooprally]

I hope at least the FReepers without the "red x's" did the same and saw the pics.

FYI - Grumpy is in the Olney FReep. I'll have that one up later today, hopefully. If you want on our ping list, please let me know.

Take Care.

[Mr] T

[Angelwood]

It must have been wonderful to go on a tour of the White House again -- and see that Hillary's "silly painting" is GONE! I suspect that Laura Bush's quiet elegance and tasteful suggestions have transformed the First Residence since the Clinton era.

Hope you had a great 4th of July and that the Flag Balloon is still flying high!

Freep On!

[3D-JOY]

No real recovery needed...you did everything for me! Thanks and sorry I did not read this until tonight!

[Angelwood]

I unfortunately got the red x's, but the link to Webshots worked just fine. The photos are great and I appreciate you taking the time to post an after action report -- I was waiting to share the experience.

What was with all the crowns? Was Medea playing Queen or Princess for the day?

Thanks for being there for the rest of us.

FReep On!

[Just A Nobody]

Hi cf! Hope you and yours are enjoying your summer!

[Just A Nobody]

No problem! I was just so happy to have you back with us. I was concerned that you may have overdone it. You are one tough lady. Thank you for everything! ;*)

[trooprally]

Not sure abut the crowns. The sure look stupid. They had them on at Walter Reed Friday also. Maybe Kristinn knows. Glad the webshots link worked.

Thanks for the word of appreciation. It helps on hot, and cold, days to attend a FReep knowing that others are with us. Or in your case, having been out there with us, you know what we are up against.

[Mr] T (Been busy, couldn't get back to you earlier)

[ariamne]

The pictures are blank for me--any other place I can view them?

Thanks!

[trooprally]

Above the 1st at the top it says WEBSHOTS click on that and they will be all of the picks.
